Fourth-Gen Group’s “Heartbreaking” Funding Method For Concerts Sparks Major Concerns

JUSTB‘s recent methods to help plan and fund a possible tour have sparked major concerns for some fans.

It was recently shared that JUSTB’s next tour in the US would be done slightly differently, with crowdfunding, asking fans buy a ticket during two week period, and this is jst provisional to sell 100 tickets as dates have not been announced.

JUSTB is crowdfunding their next tour and have already confirmed 2 cities!!

In the comments, some fans shared heartbreak that, despite being so talented, JUSTB had to crowdfund a tour and find a way to make it viable to definitely meet fans at a concert, with some admiring their determination in a time when multiple idols are having to cancel shows because of low ticket sales.

On X, it also sparked concerns about the viability of the process, especially in the US. One OP shared that if only a few cities reach the 100 tickets, the chance the group might not tour, as it wouldn’t be cost-effective, especially with recent visa issues.

this is honestly so silly so if only 2 cities reach 100 tickets you’re gonna send them on a two city tour? hfjdjsjs make it make sense pic.twitter.com/hzux29ZvhO

The 100 requirement seems unrealistic for a multi city tour if only 2-3 cities reach the goal, will the tour proceed as a limited engagement or will it be canceled entirely? We need more transparency on how this project remains viable if most cities fall just short of the mark https://t.co/7YawTH1uoZ

In the quotes, fans also shared that the price being set is not acceptable, considering there isn’t any concrete information, such as dates, which makes it hard to commit.

i’m sorry i am not dropping $139 on a concert ticket when that concert is not even 100% happening and there’s not even a vague timeframe that’s been announced. two tours in a row justb has held their only midwestern show on my club’s showcase day i am not risking it again 😭

Paying $139 for a hypothetical tour stop is CRAZY. I was talking to my sister about it earlier. Like I can see where they were coming from but… idk. Like what you said, what if only 2 cities reach 100 tickets. That’s not a tour that’s a get together 😅

This isn’t a new method, and 1verse has also used this for their concerts.
